Archbishop Phiri stated that the country must understand that after judgement, there will always be people who will not be happy with whatever outcome it may be but that shouldn’t call for chaos.
He urged law enforcement agencies to treat citizens in a civil way regardless of their political affiliation, denomination or tribe.
The church leader said this when Defence Minister Ambrose Lufuma called on him at the Cathederal of Christ the King in Ndola yesterday.
He also urged the minister to ensure that every aggrieved citizen is well taken care of as a way of maintaining peace in the country.
“I was taking it that it’s a judgement like any other but clearly it is something that has a lot of emotions attached to it. People are on their toes waiting for what they are going to say.”
“Now, when things are in that situation, there will always be a complainant. Somebody is going to say you have not done it properly, as a minister you have to ensure that all the children aggrieved or those who may not agree with you that all of them are taken good care of and justice is seen to be done. Trouble comes when your children seek to think that you are favoring one side. As a nation, maintain the peace, stay calm, follow the established means and laws,” advised the Archbishop.
And Lufuma assured the church of government’s commitment to ensuring that peace and order is maintained throughout the judgement process.

Do you think his Grace, this police state or government will listen to the truth or advice? Prophets and people of good will are warning HH but he is turning a blind eye or deaf ear to these warnings. When the architectures of injustices becomes the hindered by the law will be sad to watch. I just feel sorry for those people bitterly biding HH ‘s atrocities against humanity to silence the voices, by inflicting pain, psychological distress, physical pain and misery will one day come to face charges that they are committing today.

Words of wisdom from the Archbishop. Words meant to build and not destroy, unite and not tear asunder, comfort and not aggrevate.
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God (Math. 5:9). The Archbishop is exhibiting fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22). Thank you Archbishop Phiri.
